Farm Baseball (League age 8)

Farm Baseball is for boys and girls who want to learn the fundamentals of hitting and fielding. Pitching is done by combination of coaches, pitching machines and players. Rules of the game are modified to to accommodate the need for teaching. The primary goals of Farm Baseball are to instruct children in the fundamentals of baseball and to allow them to experience the value of teamwork.

SEPLL offers Farm Ball for boys and girls who are League Age 8. Boys and girls who are League Age 9 may play Farm Ball with permission of the League. Please use the League Age Chart determine your child's League Age.

Team Formation

Farm Baseball teams have approximately 10 to 12 players. SEPLL does its best to create teams by grouping children according to their neighborhoods and schools. We will do our best to honor requests to play with friends or a specific coach, but we cannot make any guarantees.

Team Practice

Teams may begin practicing in about mid-March. Where and how often a team practices is up to the manager. Farm Baseball teams generally practice about 2 times per week until the regular season begins in early April. After the regular season begins, team coaches determine the frequency of practices.

Team Games

Farm Baseball teams play 2 games per week - one at 6:00 pm during the week and one on Saturday. Games are scheduled from early April through end of the school year. Games are limited to 1 hour and 30 minutes. Games are usually played at Woodstock Park, but may be played at parks within our league boundaries. In late March the official schedule will be published at www.sepll.org. 

Farm Ball follows the Little League Baseball Official Regulations and Playing Rules and SEPLL Local League Rules. Games are played on a 60-foot diamond.
